Preliminary validation of the Virtual Kitchen Challenge as an objective and sensitive measure of everyday function associated with cerebrovascular disease.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Preliminary validity of a computer-based test of everyday function (Virtual Kitchen Challenge [VKC]) was examined against brain-imaging markers of cerebrovascular disease and in contrast to conventional neuropsychological and self-report measures. Twenty community-dwelling older adults ( Highlights: Virtual Kitchen Challenge (VKC) scores showed significant improvement from training to test conditions.VKC scores (completion time and proportion of time off screen) were associated with a neuroimaging biomarker of brain health (white matter hyperintensities).
